DVD Frenzy - Movie 3: The Stepfather (2009)

This fall Daddy's home.

Oh, I just found out that The Stepfather (2009) is the remake of the 1987 thriller movie of the same name.

The Stepfather's storyline is not something extraordinary. Basically, it's about a psychotic man preying on widowed women with kids and taking his own sweet time to settle down with the "new" family to be their stepfather. After a period of time, maybe six months or a year, if he thinks he fails to make that family his family, he kills all of them. Then, he changes his appearance and identity and moves on to seek after new targets.

Chilling huh? It should be, but perhaps the major letdown of this movie is the stale and unconvincing acting from the whole cast. Movies with predictable storyline can still be watchable if the acting is impressive and dramatic. Sad to say, this isn't the case with The Stepfather.

All the characters, including the murderous stepfather fail to impress the audience with good performance. Another character, the girlfriend of the eldest son of the family is bitchy, annoying, and merely an eye-candy as she's clad in her underwear or bikini for almost the entire movie. What's the point huh?

The widowed woman... oh my goodness! Is there really someone who's so stupidly blinded by love that she won't even care to find out who the man really is before bringing him into her family? Come on! That's an unbelievable stupid act for a woman her age.

Anyway, my point is, there's no need to watch this movie. Save your bucks for something else.
